Apollo 13 Simulation

By Leo Gura - December 11, 2025

I recently went down a YouTube rabbit-hole of studying the history of rocketry.

This is a superb re-telling of the Apollo 13 mission, how and why it failed, and how they saved it from catastrophe. It’s a detailed and historically accurate 3D simulation with actual voice logs from the crew and ground control. This is more informative and realistic than the classic 90’s Apollo 13 film with Tom Hanks.

These kind of videos are YouTube at its best. This is so well done.

The engineering that went into the Apollo program and the moon landings is truly astonishing. It will make you cry if you truly understand what NASA accomplished. This is the best steelman of science and makes the deconstruction of science all the more astonishing.
